Before Bismark reconstructed the
map of Europe, and made a united
Germany, a sdOzen little municipalities
used to annoy travellers by stopping
them at their frontiers, until they had
satisfied the custom-house demands. A
Yankee once had his carriage stopped
at the frontier of petty princes coun-
try. The Herr Ober, Controleur at the
custom house came forward, and, much
to his indignation, was received in
nonchalant way. The Yankee was I'M
gentlemanly enough not to get out of
his carriage, or even take off his hat.
The Herr Ober sharply demanded the
keys of the tourists trunk, which his
subordinate began handling roughly.
''Here, hands off ~ shouted the Yankee.
81 didn't come from the United States
of America to be controlled by you.
Put those trunks back. I'll not 90
through you at all. I'll turn back. I'm
in no hurry, and don't care for losing q
day. You're no country, you're only a
spot. I'll go round you." And he did. |

The Worlds correspondent in the
Pennsylvania coal region has found a
spot where the coal barons charge their
poor wOrkmen $3.50 per ton for coal,
which is more than the same coal

1t would seem that the mine-owners
ought to be able to sufficiently skin the
toilers. who average but 80 cents day,
through the store-order system, with
out taxing them more for fuel than
they do the people who live many miles

The manufacturing classes are get
ting proud. Recovering from their
dismay and decentralization at the first
onset of organized labor, they now
defy the Knights with something that
closely resembles scOrn. They no
longer cover at the threat of the dis
trict assembly, nor quail on hearing
the murmur of discomfort. On the
contrary, they announce a determine
ton to run their own business to suit
themselves, and the walking delegate
is treated with about as much respect
and consideration as would 0e accorded
to tramp. These gaudy and bloated
capitalists, indeed, are getting wonder
fully ''cocky,'' and have recently gone
to the length of poking fun at united
labor and telling it to go and take
walk, ETC., until it looks for all the
world as though they felt able to carry
very high head indeed.
The war tariff has SO enriched the
manufacturing class, at the expense of
the consumer that they are now the
master, and the consumer the servant.
